Immense sound qualityThis is the third Harman Kardon system I have purchased simply due to the awesome quality they deliver. Initially purchased the soundsticks several years prior, upgraded to the Aura Plus due to staying in line with latest generations. As I have two separate offices, something was a miss whilst I worked in my new office thus purchasing my third Harman Kardon system and my second Aura Plus. The sound delivery is absolutely amazing and the system adapts well to a wide range of genres. Furthermore, the wireless connection is so very convenient without compromise on sound quality. Highly recommended and modestly priced.

Will dual feature be available to aura plus that i have right now? Or if i have aura plus and aura studio 2, will that me able to use dual connection?

Asked by: its good

There are no plans to add the Wireless Dual Sound feature to the Aura Plus. As of this writing, only the Aura Studio 2 has this feature can only be paired with another speaker that has the Wireless Dual Sound feature too.

Hi, can the aura plus connect as a dual speaker to another aura plus/aura studio? Thanks

Asked by: mrgreen

The Aura Plus and Aura Studio does not have this feature yet. This feature was first introduced in the Aura Studio 2, with the Wireless Dual Surround. This allows two Aura Studio 2s to connect together for a richer, amplified sound.
